File Photo: Sureshbhai Patel has been left partially paralysed after a police officer allegedly forced him on ground in Alabama.
A federal jury in the US state of Alabama has failed to arrive at a decision on the case of a brutal police assault on a 57-year-old Indian grandfather who was left partially paralysed.
After day-long deliberations on Monday wherein the 12-member jury jury watched the 10-minute video of the February 6 incident multiple times, in which Sureshbhai Patel was partially paralysed in Albama's Madison city, they decided to meet again on Tuesday, local media reported.
If found guilty of using excessive force against Mr Patel, former Huntsville police official Eric Parker faces up to 10 years of imprisonment.
Parker, 27, who has now been suspended by the Huntsville Police is accused of having violated the civil rights by using excessive force when he knocked Sureshbhai down to the ground.
The incident left Mr Patel partially paralysed for which he is still undergoing treatment.
Parker's first trial in September had ended in a mistrial.
US lawmakers had condemned the police assault on Mr Patel, describing it as "horrible and tragic".
